When I started writing this newsletter about twitter, I asked Russ, “How do I make sure that I don’t sound like a fourteen year old kid with too much time on her hands?”

I was still a bit wrapped up in the stereotypes about twitter. Truth be told, I have completely fallen in love with the communication medium that is twitter. I started tweeting in May 2009 at the recommendation of one of my two awesome brothers, and once I got my feet under me, really started enjoying it.

I have met veterinarians across the country and around the world. I have met friends I may never have otherwise. I have gathered a group of pet experts in one list and sometimes just watch them converse when I need to learn more about behavior and pets. And if I have a question, everyone gathers to help me find the answer. I LOVE twitter. The only thing I love more than twitter is the great group of people I have met there.

I wanted a place to gather some of my favorite tweeters, so that when “Follow Friday” comes around, I am not overwhelming friends who don’t need their twitter stream taken over by the incredible list of awesome people I would recommend following.

If you have not yet been snagged by twitter, I hope you stick around the Riley and James Website for the actual pet information. (“She’s strange, but she does have some good guinea pig information, I guess.”) And if you, like me, have found twitter to be fun, informative, and a valid way to communicate with friends new and old, stop back by this post this coming Friday and every Friday. You will love these guys.
